A National Book Award Finalist for Young People’s Literature.

Ghost wants to be the fastest sprinter on his elite middle school track team, but his past is slowing him down in this first electrifying novel in a new series from Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe Award–winning writer Jason Reynolds.

Ghost. Lu. Patina. Sunny. Four kids from wildly different backgrounds with personalities that are explosive when they clash. But they’re also four kids chosen for an elite middle school track team—a team that could qualify them for the Junior Olympics if they may be able to get their acts together. They all have a lot to lose, but they also have a lot to prove, not only to one another, but to themselves.

Running. That’s all Ghost (real name Castle Cranshaw) has ever known. But Ghost has been running for the incorrect reasons—it began with running away from his father, who, when Ghost used to be a very little boy, chased him and his mother through their apartment, then down the street, with a loaded gun, aiming to kill. Since then, Ghost has been the one causing problems—and running away from them—until he meets Coach, an ex-Olympic Medalist who sees something in Ghost: crazy natural talent. If Ghost can stay heading in the right direction, literally and figuratively, he could be the most productive sprinter in the city. Can Ghost harness his raw talent for speed, or will his past after all catch up to him?
